Top Rank on ESPN: Naoya Inoue vs. Luis Esteban Nery Hernández & Masago Akui vs. Taku Kuwahara II RBR

NO HOLD

 

Ishida:1*,2,8,
Takuma:3,4,5,6,7,9,10,
*Takuma down.

Ishida must have the tenth, opens disastrously for him as he ships uppercuts. Takuma looks like he means business here. I tell you though, i think Takuma is sad about getting hit in the body. Not that it makes anyone particularly happy. I just wish Ishida would step out and maybe try to hurt Takuma's body on the way in. Yes, good, right hands to the body. Ishida generally out-hit here though for power shots. Takuma signalled the right uppercut was his punch in the second and he's still landing it with impunity in the 10th. I have it out of Ishida's reach now without another KD.

Damned close, Sho going all out, but eating way too many clean counters.

Sho fought cautiously for first two minutes, but stayed at range and landed the better shots. They traded in the last minute, Sho with the heavier blows.
